I’ll admit, when I ordered from a taco truck in Southern IL I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the food. I was wrong.
I had the birria beef quesadilla and street corn. It was the best dang birria I’ve had in a long time. It was like being punched in the mouth with flavor. The spice level is just right for me as well – a little bit of heat, but not enough to be overpowering. The shells were perfectly done and I swear I could drink the birria sauce. The street corn has an unexpected amount of flavor and texture, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Price wasn’t bad, either.
My fiance had the birria chicken tacos and rice. I only tried a bite of each, but both were every bit as amazing. I can’t believe this guy is self-taught and is putting out this kind of food!
If they catered, I’d have Taco Jim’s do my wedding, it was that good. 10/10, can’t wait to come back.

Came out during the Apple Festival and tried some food for the second time… I’ll order from you guys every time I see y’all! Great food for a good price, and, along with the truck, it’s visually appealing!

Blocked my review on FB so they where set up at gorville freedom fest 7/4/25 my step daughter and her friend where waiting in line for 45 minutes being cut in line several times finally get to the order window and they where out of what they had wanted that’s to be expected with as many people that where they so they was trying to decide what they wanted and they had called my wife to tell her what they were out of and to see what she wanted just to be told to get out of the line like they waited 45 minutes couldn’t wait like 20 seconds to find out and then block my review on FB and delete my comments so people can’t see the review well they won’t get mine or my family business and if anyone ask about taco Jim’s il be sure to tell them my review! Fired from your food trailer good way to many more with good food and customer service so id be glad to go elsewhere and by the way don’t drink and I’m up every day by 5:45 am by the way and oh I’m sure I’m not the only one I know I’m not the only one on here either read your reviews.

Taco Jim catered a dinner at Trike Fest this year. I had never heard
Of him, but I was so excited when I saw he was making Birria tacos, which are my favorite.
Those tacos were so dang GOOD. My husband and I still talk about them a couple weeks later.
Highly recommend.

This gentleman served at an event and he was FANTASTIC! His personality and hospitality is just as amazing as the food he whips up fresh and made to order! Was absolutely blown away by the flavor festival exploding in my mouth! 10 out of 10 would put his meat in my mouth any day of the week!!

There are few “eating out” experiences that leave me feeling truly satisfied, but this was definitely one of them. These birria tacos are insanely good and worth every penny. I could taste the love in each bite. I didn’t want it to end. Lol. Pay no attention to any naysayers in the reviews. Those people seem to suffer from cheapness and elitism. You will be hard pressed to find a more delicious taco in Southern Illinois. And I’m pretty sure I’ve had them all. Thank you Taco Jim!
